What does this mean?
  • An appointed representative (AR) can carry out regulated financial services, but is not directly authorised by the FCA. A principal firm holds the authorisation and is legally responsible for the AR's conduct.
  • TRANTER FUNERALS LIMITED (FRN 982526) is an AR of Golden Charter Limited (FRN 965279). When you use TRANTER FUNERALS's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
